Abstract
Summary Many tissues in the chick are equipped with the enzymes necessary for conversion of sulfate-S35 into taurine. Supplementation of a low sulfur amino acid diet with serine, glycine, ethanolamine, sodium ise-thionate, methionine, or cysteine enhanced sulfate-S35 incorporation into liver taurine. Addition of the sodium salts of thiosulfate, sulfate, or sulfite to the ration increased liver taurine-S35 and bile taurocholate-S35. The optimum level of sodium sulfate supplementation was 0.7% of the diet. Incorporation into taurine of labeled carbons occurred when cys-teine-3-C14, alanine-C14-UL, ethanolamine-1-2-C14, serine-3-C14, serine-C14-UL, and sly-cine-1-C14 were administered.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
